I played Elite for months as a kid. I also had that horrible COPY RIGHT DEVICE!!!! It was a prism that you had to hold over the manual page and read the decoded code. I ended up writing the decoded request and I shared it with my local Computer and well that document ended up "Getting around." I think I saw it on every BBS within 24 hours and I think it made it over the globe within a week. I am sorry to the creators of Elite but that was the worst Copyright Device known to mankind!https://www.c64-wiki.com/images/thumb/a/aa/Lenslok.jpg/400px-Lenslok.jpg https://www.c64-wiki.com/images/thumb/a/aa/Lenslok.jpg/400px... I came down with pneumonia and it lasted for MONTHS. I actually ended up just going to 80 days of school, but I really got good at the game till I would get ambushed by pirates while warping and had zero fuel :( It was Rougelike before Rouge.
